Adding devices to data collections When selecting Data Collection from the navigation tree, the data collection summary page is displayed.

Policies feature is discussed in the “Using Group Policies with data collection templates” section on page 14. Selecting Data Collection invokes a summary page in the workspace area dedicated to managing various data collection tasks. Right-clicking on either one also provides a list of various tasks directly available for added convenience. Selecting either one invokes a summary page in the workspace area that displays specific task modules. Two sub-nodes exist under Reports in the navigation tree: Data Collection and Report Generation (Figure 5 on the previous page). They are easier to use now that each report type matches the data collection type it is associated with (Figure 4 on the previous page). Report types Nine report types are defined in HP Web Jetadmin. By default, a report is archived for 90 days. All reports are archived within HP Web Jetadmin for a defined number of days. Once generated, reports can be displayed within HP Web Jetadmin, emailed, scheduled to be emailed at regular intervals, and saved to file (HTML or CSV). (Requires HP printer driver or HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) in Microsoft Windows® environments only.) Event Log History: Captures printing device errors and their frequency, as logged by the device’s Event Log. Collection occurs at the end of every print job (end-of-job trap event). Device Utilization by User: Captures pages printed and applications used on a by-user basis. Report generation: Once data has been collected, reports can be generated. Setting up a data collection is the first step and required before any report can be generated.

Data collection: A process that gathers usage data from a device, either on a regular, manual, or per-job basis, and then stores that data in the HP Web Jetadmin database. A variety of reports offer powerful insight into your printing environment.ĬREATING REPORTS There are two main steps to create any report in HP Web Jetadmin: 1. The Reports feature (Figure 1) allows you to generate reports based on historical data gathered over time. Collecting, extracting, and then analyzing usage data in your printing environment can help bring about a balanced deployment, increased productivity, and cost savings.
